Problem
Things to Try
I can’t hear anything
from the speaker.
Adjust the squelch level; it is probably too high.
The sound is muffled
or the volume is low. Clear water from the speaker grill.
Noise comes out of
the speaker all the
time
Adjust the squelch level; it is probably too low.
I can transmit, but no
one can hear me.
Check your UIC channel settings: does
the area you are in use different channel
assignments?
I’m not getting hazard
alerts.
Make sure Weather Alert Watch is turned on.
The display flashes,
and I don’t know why.
The channel number on the display will flash if
the radio is in a watch mode or in scan mode.
Try turning off scanning, Weather Alert Watch,
Triple Watch, or Dual Watch (see page E-10).
Where can I find my
radio’s serial number?
The serial number is on a plate inside the
battery compartment.
